CHAPTER jlxtv.
Nathalie aa& tn harlequin la
vbOH trai aba danced went oat,
when: the dance tun ended, ta a
Ionrireh arnielt raa alea one
Ida -at tbe nanse and rested to
gether aa a bamboo sofa -aadar
Chlaeeo lights.
Other eouplea were out there la
plenty, servants carried trays
boat, and the air was fall of fay
ty aad shall an4 chatter.
"A girl eal4 to me once, an
noaaeed the harlequin, "that noth
ing disguised amyone raore than
an oral half-mask. Whea l dis
puted her statement sse advised
me to co to a masquerade gome
time and teat If it wasn't true.
It fa."
"Of course it is," agreed Nath
alie. "Neither you nor I know
who each other is. Just as we
haven't an idea who any of the
people aboot as are."
"Aad yet," pursued the harle
quin, "now don't more out of your
relaxed pose at this but hold It
keep your mask oa as ft were.
And yet I met that same girl out
aide of a Country bank not ao long
ago when she was as good as
masked and knew her at onee.
And then tonight I turned up here
myself with a mask on and danced
with.her and she didn't know me.
Do you consider that playing
fair?"
;An Indian who had taken his
till of the. firewater that was be
ing served inside came out on the
porch and whooped and everybody
whooped In unison with hint and
everybody laughed. "While gen
eral attention was on him John
Sloan lowered- his mask ,d let,
Nathalie see him and put it quick
ly back again. - . , .
"Noble Indian." he said. "Keep
the relaxed pose hoW it. Just
like that That's fine.
"And while I was at the coun
try bank," he continued, "a Queer
thing or two happened so I
though I'd drift in here tonight
and let you know what they were.
Fortunately this Isn't a particul
arly difficult house to get into. I
know Monte Delaine very well and
telephoned Mm i d like to come
over and we hired our harlequin
suits together at the same costum-
ers."
"And rescued me from a fright
fully tignt corner," Nathalie as
sured him. "and if only for that
I'm frightfully glad to see you
Did you know the woman you took
me away from was my aunt?" She
kept, her pose indolent, as he had
warqed her to, and kept her voice
at a high pitch to match the pose.
"Certainly," he said, "She pro
moted this party. I crashed you
when I though she'd bothered you
enough.. And she didn't recognize
you. Ton can be sure snout , tnac
I was watching her eyes. I'd like
bf the way aad he grinned
ta sea her face when aha learns
that your coastn Sylyla and Monty
haTe gone sweet oa each other."
Nathalie sat up straight. "Sit
hack. Sloan warned her. -It's a
fact But not one of tfif facts I
ef me here to talk to yon about
Nathalie had to hear a Olttie
about ft. though, "Are they really
meaning to marry? She asked,
fan of interest about It "Aunt 01
Irlalt go mad. When? ; And on
what?"
"Oh, en some of Monte's land
when he sells it When if ever.
Bat no far aa your cousin's con
cerned Captain 8tefano is out of
the picture. Which brings us back
to business again for It's Stefan
I want to talk to you about.
Her mask covered most of the
blush that rose to Nathalie' face
and in any ease Sloan missed it in
the colored light
"He has been charming to me,"
she said quickly. "Charming and
courteous and kind."
Sloan caught her tone and noted
It but went on nevertheless. -"I'm
sura of it And I like him.
But over at Brook vllle where I
was working, aa X told yon if yon
remember, and so taking notice of
everything there was around I an-
tomatlcanytooTt down the number
of the car you came there, in and
it Isn't Btefaao'a ear. That la un
less be lias yast bought it and is
risking a tane by not taking out a
new number. It belongs, or did
belong, to a former policeman."
f cried. The image of the man at
Southampton flashed into her
mind. Then the reflection came to
her that the nexfcay she would
be free to draw against her bank
balance and she tank back among
her cushions again.
"A chap named Ferris." Sloan
explained, "wha seems enormous
ly interested in me since ha had
a man follow me from Brookline
after I had talked to you. I would
not have known anyone was
watching me if Ferris' man
hadn't been parked In a car out
side the bank and followed me
rlg"nt in and looked me over while
I was talking to Pound. He was so
clumsy about, it. obviously with
out any business in the bank ex
cept to watch me, that I thought
I'd find out what X could about
him . and so took down his car's
license number from the window
while Pound and I were talking.
When right afterward you came
to the bank, and while I was In
the street, I wrote down your car
number too. I was sure positive

little but aha managed to control

"A ene-time policeman, as I

Sloan paused a moment "But

'N UNCLELAM sir and food lurk many dangerous enemies of man
kind. Not long ago one of the world authorities oa health said
this: "Every victory over dirt is a victory over diseaseT Germs
cannot breed where there is utter cleanliness.
I wish this were absolutely the fact It it
were, the fight against disease would be much
simplified. Unfortunately, the cleanest of air
and the purest of food may become contaminated.
To prevent such contamination is one of the
chief duties of man..
There is little danger of disease production
from foods which are cooked and promptly eaten.
It is another story with food and drink served
raw or cold. At ordinary temperature the germs,
harmless in limited number, will multiply so
amazingly as fairly to teem in the food.
But it is a fact, that germs thrive in dirty,
dark and dusty places. In this sense dirt is a
breeding place xorthe agents of disease and death.
